ICEBREAKER

ThisBeChris
What’s your favorite was to get tokens (ex banana hits, coins on the track, etc)? 
Bonus Icebreaker from ThisBeChris: What would be a cool new way to get tokens?

NEW YEARS TOUR/MEOWSER

ThisBeChris
With everyone likely pulling for Meowser, how valuable in terms of coverage do you think Cat Rosa will be? If people don’t pull for her due to lack of rubies do you think she could be a potential top 10 driver?

Studfit
Who pulled for Meowser? Who pulled the Gold Pipe? Who pulled both? Who pulled for Catalina?

If u were to compare the past New Years tours we have had (2021, and 2020) would u say this is the best New Years tour we have had so far?

DRIVERS

KnightRoso
Do you think the aesthetics of an item have anything to do with the value it gets in the future?
Furthermore, how can we predict which D/K/G will become valuable in the future? Is it starting availability? Aesthetics? Item/skill? Starting value? 

HIRO

MKD Ben
One widespread phenomenon this second week of ranked this tour is the appearance of Hiro (ひろーー) in countless people's ranked cups (mostly those in or close to Tier 70). Do you think Nintendo did this purposefully to try to slow down progression/resource attainment or is this simply a matter of chance that this multiple-time top 10 player was selected to be in a common ranked pool?

EDietel
Thoughts on the Hirocalypse?

SINGAPORE

Puff the Scottish Dino
How do you feel about Singapore being the new city tour for 2022? Also, do you feel these cities are being accurately represented in a way that satisfies those who live in them? As we saw with Berlin, parts were inaccurate in terms of culture (Lederhosen is Bavarian, not German or Walu Bus Driver having Tartan during London, when that is Scottish). 
If your city was represented in this game, what features would you want to see and why?

Studfit
What skill with Luigi (vacation) have? We have mushrooms on the shirt but he looks like Mario Sunshine. Additionally, we’ve had great unique (‘must pull’) drivers released around the same time as coinbox drivers (when they know our rubies are depleted), thinking Gold Roberto with Ninja, Toilet Paper Mario with Painter Luigi, Kamek with Yoshi Kangaroo and now Meowser with Luigi?

Studfit
What are your thoughts on the Twitter video showing multiple cities? Some are talking about multiple cities included next tour, while others feel MKT is showing they will mix in cities more often this year, while others just say it’s a promo video and means nothing.

DAILY SELECTS

MKD Ben
It seems like Daily Selects has seriously been shut down this tour for many people, myself included. Do you think Nintendo might be messing with the HE ticket odds now that a new CB driver is out? Or is it simply that so many of us are simultaneously having bad luck? (1 in 10 days, normally 4-5 over that period)

2022 TRACK RECOMMENDATIONS

Larry98 / Larry (Party Time) 
Do you think we will ever get a new GCN track? The last time they added a gcn track was in the (!) New York Tour (!) -(GCN Yoshi Circuit and GCN Dino Dino Jungle). It also has been a while since the last N64 track. N64 Choco Mountain was added back in July 2020 in the Exploration Tour. What do you think about this? What retro tracks do you want to see? 

ENDING SEGMENT

What recommendation/advice would you ha
